which machine
« on: May 27, 2011, 04:02:51 pm »
This my 1st post as a newbie

I am undecided regarding which machine to purchase.

Should it be Airflex Turbo or the new Jaguar

I am hoping the more experienced guys can help in my decision

Thanks in advance

Eric not sure about Perth but if youve got lots of flats with no lifts
I would start with a airflex mini twin vac.

I understand that the Airflex Turbo is a tried and tested machine were as the Jaguar 6.6 is new here  ;)(I have a tendency to wait a bit look at iPhone 4 Ariel problem ;D >:()

Jim raised a valid point :)

As a non major porty user the black max ticked all the boxes apart from the filling up/emptying (thanks for the lone Wayne and yes the heat is unbelievable oh won’t be using the DF next Friday it’s yours)

Knowing where the Jaguar is coming from (Ed Valentine/Nick V-W/John Bolton camp) I cant imagine anything major will be wrong with its design.
Latest design vac motors from Lamb-Ametek as well, dont think many, if any, in the UK will have experience  of these yet.

Eric, if you're in Perth, I suggest you go along to see Jamie or Craig at Cleaning Systems UK in Cupar as they supply machines and will provide a great back up to you. I agree with the Powr Flite comments. Plenty of power and great performance. CSUK sell these too.

Can i also leave the black max in the van and run hoses.???

Eric
I have a Scorpion, and have had it 4 years from new and have been very happy with the machine, its very reliable, and the back up from Nick at Solutions is second to none!
The airflex on the other hand has had some problems with vacuum motors blowing prematurely!
I have also just ordered a new jaguar,
so the choice is yours!

ok my advice would be avoid a powerflite machine although performance is good design is poope on 2 models that i know of . Thats why most moans on this forum about bust vacs are about these machines . ( yes i did own one )

The airflex is a great machine well built and designed designed by an ex carpet cleaner for a carpet cleaner .

never used a scorpion or even seen the new one but if it has anything to do with nick at sol i am sure they are a great machine .

both these companys offer great support too
